Topic: VDR Setup Issue (Read 9518 times)

I connected the unit up and I am now getting a 65% signal strength on BBC and an 82% on ITV MUX's so I hope that is enough to rule out the signal but I just tried to tune it again and got the same response

I have to run a 'sudo su -' before I can run the scan command, does this matter? If I try to run the command 'sudo scan...' it fails with 'file does not exist (or something like that. If you need clarification on this I can advise when I get home from work tonight.

Sorry, didn't have any time last night, needed to spend some time with my wife because I am off for a stag doo tomorrow in scotland! Perhaps I should download the latest alpha for 8.10 on Monday and start there? You reckon its a good idea?

Hmmm...no I would wait at least until the Beta's ;-)

Can you fire up Konsole in kde's desktop and run the following ls command for me;

I have some other modules loaded because I have some TV cards and some other devices attached to my Core that you don't have installed. Apart from those differences your Core seems to have all the expected modules.

Could you attach a copy of your /var/log/syslog file please to your next post here. I can then see whether your KWorld Dual-Tuner is starting up correctly.

I have attached my syslog file again...do you reckon the tuner could be faulty? Maybe I should plug it into my windows box just to double-check....anyway the wife is calling so I look forward to your response and will check back tomorrow!

Well oddly enough I plugged the K-World into my vista machine and it scanned and picked up all of the channels so at least I know that its working. Do you have any other suggestions. Maybe I should try and build from the CD's instead of the DVD's? Really stuck mate and really keen to get this box running...

ok...so the KWorld is working fine. It must be that there is a problem with the installation of the driver package. Can you explain in detail each step you have taken (and what you see on screen) to install the driver package. There maybe a small error somewhere.

Ok, I download the tarball from your link, open it with ark and extract the V4L2xxxxxxx.deb file into the default location (/home/linuxmce). Also ensure that 'open location' is ticked. Once it is extracted, I click on it, this launches the Package installer. I select reinstall package, enter the linuxmce password and it loads successfully. I then reboot and then
